This is the first of a series featuring a priest in Los Angeles who manages to solve crimes in between duties at the Church of Saint Augustine. Luis Chavis was born in LA and just returned from seminary to become the junior priest of Saint Augustine. When a Mexican woman is found on the church grounds with a gunshot wound, she tells Father Chavis an incredible tale of murder. When four armed men kidnap her from the rectory, Chavis takes it personally and begins a search to discover what is happening at the farms of the Marshak family. What he discovers leads him close to death until he uncovers enough evidence to bring in federal, state, and local police to clean up a massive human rights disaster.

This is a well written story with good pace and suspense. Sadly, it is also close to describing real events.

DARK SNOW

Neosho County, Kansas, January 6, 1886. A stranger guns down Remmy's family as he helplessly watches from a distance. The killer searches for Remmy who runs through the snow-covered farmland to a hiding hole. He avoids death the next day when the most deadly blizzard to ever strike the state covers his escape. He then learns from a friend that the sheriff believes he is the killer. Remmy continues to run, stopping first in Fort Scott, then on to Kansas City. In the spring he joins the crew of Buffalo Bill's Wild West where he meets more friends who protect him and help him prepare for his return to search for the true killer. Along the way, Remmy wrestles with his sense of guilt for not saving his family, his fear of being the next victim, and the ultimate question: should he kill the killer?
